Erythema nodosum is a panniculitis which may have various causes, such as drugs, infections, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, tuberculosis or can be idiopathic. We here report a case of a woman diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis whose first symptom was erythema nodosum. A thorough clinical and laboratory investigation of the patient presenting with erythema nodosum is always required...

The skin changes which occur in sarcoidosis are erythema nodosum and specific granulomata. The incidence of erythema nodosum and its frequency in England and Scandinavia is contrasted with its comparative rarity among Negro patients in the United States. The various types of granulomata are described and classified. In contrast with erytbema nodosum, granulomata are more common in Negro than in...

Erythema nodosum, a painful disorder of the subcutaneous fat, is the most common type of panniculitis. Generally, it is idiopathic, although the most common identifiable cause is streptococcal pharyngitis. Erythema nodosum may be the first sign of a systemic disease such as tuberculosis, bacterial or deep fungal infection, sarcoidosis, inflammatory bowel disease, or cancer. Certain drugs, inclu...

A previously healthy female presented with erythema nodosum and arthritis with serological evidence of infection with Yersinia enterocolitica. Erythema nodosum following this infection has not previously been reported in Britain.

Erythema nodosum is the most common and, in its classic form, the most easily recognized cause of inflammatory nodules on the legs. It is characterized by inflammatory, tender, nonulcerating, nonscarring nodules that are typically multiple and bilateral. The rather characteristic clinical presentation can be attributable to one of many causes or associated with a wide spectrum of systemic disea...

Polyarthritis is a frequent presenting symptom in patients with sarcoidosis (Scadding, 1956; James, 1956). It is especially common in association with erythema nodosum; the combination of polyarthritis, erythema nodosum, and bilateral hilar adenopathy forming one of the distinctive syndromes of this disease (LUfgren, 1953; James, Thomson, and Willcox, 1956). Thus, Lofgren, in his series of 212 ...

Pregnant patients with coccidioidomycosis develop dissemination and serious disease more frequently than do the general population. To assist in prognosis and management, we analyzed the significance of erythema nodosum in pregnant patients with coccidioidomycosis. Sixty-one pregnant patients (mean age +/- SD, 26.4 +/- 6.3 years) were evaluated. Seventy percent of the patients were Hispanic; 15...

Löfgren's syndrome is an acute form of sarcoidosis that mostly presents with erythema nodosum, periarticular ankle inflammation, arthritis, conjunctivitis, and unilateral or bilateral hilar or right paratracheal lymphadenopathy. Erythema nodosum is the most common cutaneous lesion in acute sarcoidosis, but it is histologically nonspecific, as it does not reveal sarcoidal granulomas upon microsc...

INTRODUCTION Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare entity related to kidney transplantation. It usually presents with ecthyma-like lesions and black necrotic cellulitis. We report an unusual case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis presenting as erythema-nodosum-like lesions in a woman who had received a renal transplant. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old woman with diabetes received a living-unrelate...
